It wasn’t so much that I couldn’t find the circular cookie cutter that I usually use to make biscuits, it was that I was too lazy to look. So, the other night when it was time for me to cut out the biscuits I was making to go with the Tuscan Bean Soup with Shrimp [...]
And blogoversary week continues…check out Monday’s kick off post and Wednesday’s giveaway, if you missed them. Originally, I was going to share all of my favorite posts, but then I realized that I had a lot of favorites for several different reasons. So, because Relishments is primarily a food blog, I decided to limit this [...]
Sometimes when I want to cook a recipe that I’ve made before, I search the blog to remind myself of any tips or changes I may have discovered when I previously made it. Recently I tried to do this and discovered, to my shock, that I had never written about Giada DeLaurentiis’ Butternut Squash Lasagna. [...]
I recently discovered the Whole Grain Council’s “grain of the month” calendar and will be trying out a new grain each month, just because I needed to add another goal to my life. I got off easy last month: corn was an easy ingredient to find, use and write about. Based on the Whole Grain [...]
The other night, Brian made dinner while I was out. Since his last post was so well received, I suggested he write about it. Enjoy! In the last CSA pick up I encouraged Emily to grab a purple cabbage. At the time I had no idea what I was going to do, but Em was [...]
Winter is quickly approaching (at least, that’s what they tell me, but it’s supposed to reach 80 degrees here today). As much as I hate winter, I’m definitely looking forward to the return of winter produce, especially squash. I don’t know how I survived the first 25 years or so of my life without eating [...]
If it seems that I haven’t been posting much that I’ve actually cooked recently, there’s a good reason for that. I haven’t been very impressed with a lot of the things I’ve cooked lately. August, as you may recall, was ridiculous. School started a couple weeks ago and, contrary to my expectations (I’m being serious [...]
I had done so little canning this season that I was starting to feel kind of guilty about it. My mother-in-law bought me a canning pot for Christmas, I’d made a list of my intended creations and I had an entire season to preserve things (as opposed to starting in August, as I did last [...]
Head lettuce, kale, eggs, carrots, tomatoes (2 shares), zucchini (2 shares), scallions, dill I didn’t know there were going to be carrots available this week. They weren’t on the emailed list from the farm; I love farm-related surprises! Carrots are one of the few vegetables that we always have in the house, year round. [...]
With a constant supply of delicious eggs coming from our CSA, it seems only natural to make egg-based dishes. I’ve done a few frittatas, which are so simple and quick to make, but this weekend I decided to step it up a bit and make a quiche. I used this recipe for Smoked Salmon, Dill [...]
